Heat is on after being swept away by Hurricanes

MELBOURNE Renegades' big-hitting Australian opener Aaron Finch has not fired in his first two games in the Big Bash League this season - Brisbane Heat will hope he won't tonight.

Finch, who blasted 156 off only 63 balls, the highest ever individual score in a Twenty20 international, against England in August, has scored just 32 and 15.

To make the Renegades captain feel even worse, his side lost both of its games.

Now the Heat, the defending champion, will be in the firing line in the opening game of round three at Melbourne's Etihad Stadium, and the Brisbane side is hurting after leaking a BBL record of 210 runs in the stunning three-wicket loss against Hobart Hurricanes at the Gabba on Saturday night.
